The Castle Garden Commissioners

The Castle Garden Commissioners
resolved themselves into wife-hunters
lately for the benefit OF a German res
ident OF Reading who believed that it
is not good for man to be alone. The
would-be Benedict asked for wife,
specifying that she must be about 2S
years OF age and weigh about $50
pounds. Notwithstanding the fact
that girls ofthat age seldom come
up to that weight, one was found who
filled the specifications to a nicely.
Furthermore the girl expressed her
self satisfied with the man, and they
were married after an acquaintance
OF half an hour. III

Ex.secretary Lincoln breads the White House

LA.SeCretaTy Lincoln breads the " mite HOUSE..
When he was in Washington a few days
ago Frank Hatton related some facts in
regard to ex-Secretary Lincoln's aversion
to the idea OF being a candidate for the
presidency. He says:
No one can doubt the absolute sincerity
OF the ex-sesretary in protesting against
any movement being made in his behalf.
He implores his friends ii they have any re-
gard for him not to think OF or mention.
the matter. He has no desire to enter
the White House again in any capacity.
Indeed he seems to have horror OF
the place. His presence there after the as
sassination OF his father and again after
the shooting OF President Garfield has
caused him to associate thoughts of vio-
lence and death with the presidential Office
OF which he cannot rid himself. It is be-
lieved that he has a superstitious feeling
that if he were elected president he would
himself be in danger OF assass ination. To
well known army officer, not long ago,
who inquired OF him about his presidential
chances. Mr.. Lincoln replied: 'If you ever
hear OF my wanting the office or being a
candidate for it, you may declare that I
am an idiot and will confess it"

Cause Of the Illinois Railroad Tragedy,

i. o.. Baker, president Of the Illinois So
ciety OF Engineers and professor OF civil
engineering in the University Of Illinois,
has returned from a careful examination
OF the engineering problems OF the Chats
worth disaster and an examinat tion OF the
condition of other bridges and culverts
and protection from fire given those cul-
verts by road officials ana hands. He
says: ii sH 3 lS

any citizens OF Chatsworth who had seen
such characters lettering about, as report
ed by that theory The flames of the burn
ing culyert were plainly seen from Chats
worth at intervals for several hours before
the accident. From the lay OF the land
they must have risen five or six feet above
the track to have been seen so far It is
plain that an attempt had been made to pro
tect the bridges OF the road from ire,
but a personal inspection of
other culverts in that vicinity
shows that it was not done SO as to afford
complete protection. Personal inspection
along the line OF the road for sixteen miles
shows that grass and weeds were not all
burned of, but many patches were left un-
burned and in the Immediate vicinity it
was more carelessly done. The culvert it
self was OF the usual type and abbndantly
strong to carry the train but for the fire
whicn had destroyed the lower ti1nbers
He thinks it probable that the fire left by

EniOy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and thou
sands of means of enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health !;

feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged and worn out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that GREEN'S August

Charity Entertainment in Paris,

Everything that brains and ingenuity can
suggest Is being done to raise money for the
sufferers from the floods in the south, Be-
sides establishing headquarters in all direc-
tions where voluntary subscriptions are re-
ceived, nothing is left undone in the way of
devising forms of entertainment for their
benefit Every taste is considered, and it is
safe to predict that before the clever people
interested in the fund have finished every one
who has money to contribute will have given
in his mite
The entertainment par excellence thus far
for this fashionable charity is the grandes
fetes du soleil-a conglomeration of attrac-
tions brought together under the roof of the
Palais de rIndustrie, and supposed to repre-
sent the various occupations and amusements
OF thepeople Of the south. Artistic or cele-
brated buildings and structures of the south
are here duplicated A romantic mill here, a
famous bridge or picturesque wall there;
chalets and cottages scattered about give a
pleasing effect, and at the same time serve as
booths or side shows where the small change
of the visitor easily finds its way. Various
ofchestras take turns 1t one end or the other
OF the immense hall; Q mixed chorus is sing
ing in one corner the Pilgrims March from
"Tannhauser," while in another a band of
children is shouting familiar hymn.
Nine. Theo sings one Of her wicked songs
from one stage while long haired tenor
pours out some sentimental gush from an
other; Punch and Judy amuses the children;
a lightning crayon artist pleases the vain by
presenting them with Licensees of them
selves; snake charmer and an armless and
legless man attract those of morbid tastes;
male and female wrestlers, trick horses, dogs
and goats, skillful dagger thrower, tum-
blers and performers generally give exhibi-
lions on an open platform; views of the de-
vastations caused by the flood are shown.
The dance of the Tarascon is given by alleged
men aud women of the south; in fact, every
'orm of amusement that can please old and
young, Frenchman and stranger, plebeian
md aristocrat, is presented at the fetes du
'oleil.-Paris Cor. New York Star.

"If men and women could only be aroused

somebody crying out as though in pain at

IF WAR BREAKS OUT.

Probable EHects OF q European War.Of
Advantage to America.
II war breaks out it is inevitable that there
must DO great fall Russia by great war
would be almost inevitably rendered bank
rupt, and reputation by Russia would in
fiict terrible losses, not only upon the Russian
people, but upon German and other investors,
Then, again, the outbreak of a great war
would not improbably cause panic upon the
Berlin bourse, and possibly also upon that of
Paris. Lastly, it Is to be recollected that
were great war to break out the govern
ments engaged in it would be obliged to issue
very large loans. II the war lasted long
other loans would be issued in Quick success
sion, the national debts of Europe would in
crease enormously, and thus one Of the great
causes tending to raise prices would be
stopped; the supply Of securities would be
immensely augmented all at once, while the
growth Of wealth would be checked.
Wealth, of course, would continue to crow
IN the countries that avoided war, and also
In the countries which themselves were not
made the theatre Of war, and which had not
too large proportion of their male popula-
ton in the field; but along with this growth
Of wealth there would also be great de-
struction Of wealth. At the very time, there
fore, in which securities were being most rap
idly manufactured there would DO great
check to the growth of wealth. There must.
inevitably, therefore, be fall in prices; and
if the war were protracted the fall might be
considerable, and the recovery would be long
delayed.
There might be an exception in favor Of
American railroad securities. Even in them
there would be fall at first, but probably
they would recover quickly-first, because a
great war in Europe would increase the de-
mand for American produce; secondly, be-
cause there would be tendency to send capital
out Of the belligerent countries to the neutral
countries for safe keeping and for invest
ment; and, thirdly, because the population
and wealth of the United States themselves
growing SO rapidly that the home demand for
securities is vast, while American investors
rarely invest their money in securities of
foreign governments, and they would not be
likely to be tempted at time when those
foreign governments were exhausting their
resources and running their prospects in ter
<ible way.-London Saturday Review.
